Hawaii - Winter 2026

Beloved, Youthful, Fun, People Person Spirited, humorous, and bright, Anne was a cherished soul. Whether she was practicing athletics like hiking, surfing, or gymnastics, or connecting with people through school or job experiences, she was naturally talented at finding joy in life. Gregarious and loved by all, she was her niece Sky and nephew Drew’s favorite aunt. Her sisters Valerie and Kathryn, as well as her childhood friend Amber, knew her as a bright light with a strong work ethic, one not afraid to show competitive spirit and limitless loyalty.

Loving, caring, genuine, humble, respectful Jonny was born and raised in the beautiful, close-knit community of Kapaa, Kauai to Philip Sr. and Benita Papagayo, “The ocean, the mountains, and the mud under his boots, ran through his veins. He carried his island with him everywhere, in the way he lived, the way he loved, and the way he made everyone feel like family,” his fiancée, Akanahe, stated.

Wild, adventurous, helpful, fun, unforgettable Kalalau, better known as Lau, was born in Waimea, Kauaʻi, and later grew up in Makaweli at “Camp 6” and Kekaha. To sister Hanakapiaʻi, he was Kekaha’s best rubbish picker. He taught her how to scour the landfill for what they called “Mānā Gems” — a joke referencing one of the island’s only department stores. They had some incredible finds! Once Lau found four new skateboard wheels scattered in different areas. Excitedly, he raised them high, exclaiming, “Shooooots, still good da buggah!” Only cool kids knew how to skateboard, and play marbles, and, of course, Lau was great at both. He’d also bike down the mountain, with only his rubber slippers as brakes.

Sweet, adventurous, very loved Austin was not someone who sat still. There was always somewhere to go, something to see, and everything to do. He made the most out of trips to Disneyland, Las Vegas, and Oahu as a child, and spent every summer at Anini Beach diving and camping. Throughout the rest of the year, he was an all-star Pop Warner football player and Little League baseball player. He traveled around the state for a variety of tournaments throughout his youth. His eagerness to move sometimes made longer classes difficult, but he maintained good grades in school and earned his GED at just 16 years old. As an adult, his passion for adventure turned to hunting, fishing, and spending long days at the beach with his family.
